Rose clear. is it safe to use around Oscar?

Just noticed that there is black spot on the roses (That I got for Oscar) :roll:

So I now need to treat them with rose clear.
It says on the box "Safe to use around animals and children". Do I have to keep Oscar off them though because he usually eats them, if I have to keep him off them completely the roses will have to go because it's Oscars garden and I cant have anything nasty out there:D

Thanks.
Sue.
 
I wouldn't personally as it is a fungicide....there is a difference between "safe around animals" and safe for consumption. If he does eat it is would have to be very well washed.


I have heard of people having sucess with tea tree oil but that usually has to be put on regular & before symptoms start to show. trouble is that tea tree oil is anticeptic as well so might upset his get......



Is the whole bush infected or just a bit? If only a little bit I'd just cut it out.
 
Thanks very much.
I have now looked this up on the net and found some good advice, so will be trying it today.:D

Thanks again.
Sue.
